Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.

Shall you like (A) to accompany us (B) to the picnic which (C) we are going to arrange today? (D) No Error (E)

• A. (A)
• B. (B)
• C. (C)
• D. (D)
• E. (E)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

(A)

Part A of the sentence contains the error. 'Shall' should be replaced by 'would' because the traditional rule is that 'shall' is used with first-person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while 'would' is used with second and third person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they).

Hence option A is the correct answer. Options B, C and D are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct, Option E is incorrect because there is an error in the sentence as has been already explained.
